Lady Into Fox

I watched a lady turn into a fox, not with costuming, make-up, or elaborate props but with her body movement and face. I couldn't take my eyes off of Kaplan. She brought an animal to life in a visceral way unlike anything I have ever seen before. There was one scene in particular that I keep thinking back on and in that scene, you see Kaplan's face quickly shift from one emotion to another. It isn't revealed what has changed yet, but you know by looking at her, that prey of some sort has entered the scene and my stomach dropped. The tenderness in Turner's performance sold me on the fantastical storyline. His portrayal of the joys and bitterness of love made the story grounded and honest where it otherwise could have been schlocky. I felt... full review

I enjoyed every second of this beautiful piece! I love a good story and they know how to tell one. All three performers had me on the edge of my on-stage seat! Claire Kaplan is captivating from start to finish, embodying her character with the utmost precision. Lady Into Fox is excellently directed and is a must see! Bravo!... full review

Lady into Fox is deeply simple in it's presentation. Beautifully simple. The actors and creative team are not trying to dazzle their viewers, they are trying just to speak to them. And speak they do, in plain clothing, on a rug surrounded by pillows and books, lamps, wooden stumps, and their audience, who are as much a part of the scenery as anything that existed in the room when they entered. The story is fantastical (a woman is turned, inexplicably, into a fox!) but Interrobang Departure makes no concessions to this fantasy. They embrace it, and the relative simplicity of the space and the elasticity of the performers allows the fantasy to exist vividly in the minds of the audience members and dance in that glorious space between their... full review

With beautiful physicality and campfire style storytelling, this ensemble breathes life into a fascinatingly magical and yet heartbreaking story. There isn't a moment without thoughtful craft from the carpet to ceiling and head to toe - a must see!... full review

A little masterpiece. I could not take my eyes off of it, every second grabbed my attention and I left the theater speechless and in tears of awe. This is why I love theater, because of jewels of shows like this. ... full review

What a wonderful surprise. A sweet, deceptively simple fable told with humor and and great sympathy by a really outstanding ensemble. I was surprised by how quickly I was drawn into the story. The long ovation at the end was well-deserved, as was the applause for the show's buoyant dance! ... full review

Beautifully told unconventional love story anchored by three fantastic performances. A must see. ... full review

A really enjoyable minimalist production that illustrates the maxim that one only needs actors, space, audience, and in this case, a great story, to entertain. This is a well-acted, well-directed treasure of a play that I highly recommend. The ending is perhaps somewhat vague, but I really wish the actors had time to take their well-deserved bows. However, this is the Fringe, and the next show needed to be loaded in. Congratulating actors on this inspiring production as they strike an area rug is par for the course at the Fringe. ... full review
